The image I created was sort of in response to the temperature and flow of air through out the building. Much of the imagery is taken from the machinery that was utilized to monitor and distribute the air through the ventilation system (such as the hourly temperature monitor that was recording what almost look liked Richter Scale readings) . The overall color scheme of course taken from our favorite UV-C lights. The list of text on the side is sort of a map of various machinery labels that I saw as we traversed the various spaces. The geometric form in the center is a minimal illustration of the large air vent that we came across at the very end that opened up to the outside.

I was thinking about the multiple rooms and the systems within those rooms, that when added together constitute a functioning whole.

insert reality

The link above is to a short video from the tour we took of the Medical Building's basement --
I've been playing around with all the footage I took and envisioned doing a piece with all the "Air Supply" signs and the odd blue rooms that would kill our skin if the glass or the door weren't there (even looking at that video I felt a little sick knowing the harmful effects of that light/room)...The piece would have then faded into a few seconds of someone gasping for air or maybe with a big air ventilator mask on (the kind that we have to pay the university to use - go figure)

However - after looking at all of this put somewhat together I scrapped it realizing that it wasn't me...it wasn't work I would do now...So this short video above is of a single image really - an image one of us most likely created???? But maybe not... A chalk board in a remote location in one of the dusty corners of the basement with the words "I reject your reality and insert my own."

Whether it was one of our classmates or a facility worker or a random person walking the basements doesn't really matter it was here and to me it was interesting.

technical/cultural infrastructure

Thinking about one of our previous readings regarding signs and the way they privilege one space or area over another, I began observing all of the signs and messages we encountered down under at Shands. I was drawn to diagrammatic labels indicating the flow of air, printed instructions on walls and pipes, and their contrast to hand written statements that reflected a sort of cultural infrastructure. See some of the images below:

Layers, Layers, and what? more Layers?

I was amazed at the sights I saw in the hospital basement. Even though we were in the heart of the hospital, it seemed like it was just the surface. I felt that everything was layers and layers. Layers of floor, layers of wires, layers of insulation, layers of dirt, layers of tubes, layers of creepy dim light that filled the layer and layers of space.

The signs seemed to over lap with the arrows of direction. The most interesting room, was the room inside the room. The room with the blue light seemed to be out of place. The blue light felt like it belonged in a movie.

Hertzs at Shands

Our descent, was to the guts of a jungle made of cement, metal, tubes, and wires, where the white noise we barely listen in the surface, become unbearable, where Hertzs can be listened..

Shands Feild Trip

I created this page in response to our field trip to Shands Medical Center last week.

Hye's Flow_after the field trip

The field trip in last Wednesday made me think inner structure of buildings.

There are the flow of air, water, steam, electricity and so on.

Even though some are invisible and others are covered by pipes or wires,

they keep moving, they are active and alive.

This is my impression.
